"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny
sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most
oppressive.
It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent
moral busybodies.
The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at
some point be satiated;
but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end
for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." —C. S. Lewis
(1898–1963)

“I predict future happiness
for Americans if they can prevent the
government
from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care
of them.” —Thomas Jefferson

“Immigrants soon find their place in urban
life, they soon adopt, externally, town manners and opinions, but for a
long time they remain foreign to civic thought. One cannot make a
social philosophy one’s own as easily as a new costume. . . More
menacing than barbarians storming the walls from without are the
seeming citizens within – those who are citizens in gesture,
but not
in thought.”
—Ludwig von Mises, Socialism: An Economic and Sociological
Analysis, p. 38 (1922)

“Just because you do not take an interest in politics
doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.”
—Pericles, Greek statesman, 495–429 BC

safeguards of
individual freedom as the striving after this mirage of social
justice.”

Truth is always stranger than fiction because fiction has to make
sense. — Mark Twain

The most costly of all follies is to believe

"Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a
reward,
an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means

MSM: Wrong on Mark Levin, Wrong on Trump Wiretaps,Wrong on... EverythingDoug RossIn
March, bestselling author and talk radio superstar Mark Levin laid out
an ironclad case that the Obama administration had wiretapped the Trump
campaign. In fact, Levin's evidence hinged upon reports in the New York Times and the Washington Post
which, as you know, are both hotbeds of right-wing extremism. Yet –
defying facts, logic, reason, history and common sense – the media
ignored its own reports to pillory Levin.Obama's Watergate: Six Months Later, CNN Confirms What wasWidely Reported – and Ignored On the Left – Last MarchDaniel J. FlynnVladimir
Putin did not hack the election. Barack Obama did. Donald Trump said
earlier this year that the Obama Administration wiretapped his
campaign. "Like I'd want to hear more from that fool?" President Obama
scoffed. But CNN reported on Monday, "U.S. investigators wiretapped
former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders
before and after the election... The government snooping continued into
early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to
President Donald Trump."

Trump is Keeping His Promise to Cut Government RegulationsThe
Trump administration has fulfilled one of the president's key campaign
promises to wipe out costly Obama-era regulations, according to a new
fiscal year ending report card on the effort. The American Action Forum
found that the administration kept its one in, two out plan and saved
$645 million, and has another $600 million in savings on the way.

U.S. Household Wealth Rises $1.7 Trillion to Another RecordU.S.
household wealth increased in the second quarter to yet another record,
driven by solid gains in financial assets and rising property values,
figures from the Federal Reserve in Washington showed Thursday... A
strong job market and low inflation also are allowing Americans to
improve their purchasing power, helping to sustain household spending,
the biggest part of the economy.

Why Trump's UN Speech Was a TriumphRoger KimballOne
of the most refreshing things about Trump's address – it is
characteristic of his speeches – was his frankness. At the U.N., this
had a positive as well as a critical side. On the positive side, I
found it a breath of fresh air to hear an American president celebrate
the achievements of America.

It Looks Like Obama Did Spy On Trump,Just as He Apparently Did to MeSharyl AttkissonAccording
to media reports this week, the FBI did indeed "wiretap" the former
head of Trump's campaign, Paul Manafort, both before and after Trump
was elected. If Trump officials – or Trump himself – communicated with
Manafort during the wiretaps, they would have been recorded, too. If
these reports are accurate, it means U.S. intelligence agencies
secretly surveilled at least a half dozen Trump associates. And those
are just the ones we know about.

Samantha Power Sought to Unmask Americans onAlmost Daily BasisSamantha
Power, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, was
'unmasking' at such a rapid pace in the final months of the Obama
administration that she averaged more than one request for every
working day in 2016 – and even sought information in the days leading
up to President Trump's inauguration, multiple sources close to the
matter told Fox News.

Study: Reliance On 'gut feelings' Linked to Belief in Fake News,Climate ChangeAnthony WattsPeople
who tend to trust their intuition or to believe that the facts they
hear are politically biased are more likely to stand behind inaccurate
beliefs, a new study suggests. And those who rely on concrete evidence
to form their beliefs are less likely to have misperceptions about
high-profile scientific and political issues, said Kelly Garrett, the
lead researcher and a professor of communication at The Ohio State
University.

Irma Illusions – and RealitiesPaul DriessenMy
geology, ecology and other studies taught me that climate change has
been "real" throughout history. I've learned to be humble, respectful
and vigilant in the face of nature's power; to recognize that climate
shifts can range from beneficial or benign to harmful or unbelievably
destructive; and to understand that the sun and other powerful natural
forces totally dwarf whatever meager powers humans might muster to
alter or control Earth's climate and weather.

Appeals Court Upholds Wisconsin Right-to-Work LawA
Wisconsin appeals court upheld the state's right-to-work law Tuesday,
the second time in two months that Badger State unions have seen their
legal challenges to the law rebuffed in court. The unions had argued
the law, which prohibits workers from being forced to join a union or
pay a regular fee to one as a condition of employment, was
unconstitutional. The court ruled that the issue had been long settled.

Health Insurers in New Mexico to ImplementRecord-High Premium IncreasesHealth
insurers in New Mexico are increasing premiums at the highest rate seen

expected to rise a range of 17 to 49 percent.

Republican Congresswoman Sponsors Resolution to EnforceSharia Law On U.S. CitizensOn
April 6, 2017, Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA), introduced House
Resolution 257 (HR 257), which offers protection against "racism,
religious or ethnic bias, discrimination, incitement to violence," for
Muslims, yet excludes Christians from such safeguards. There is an
accompanying piece of legislation in the Senate, known as SR 118, which
the Gatestone Institute has characterized as an effort "to criminalize
free speech," and has been introduced by Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL),
Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Kamala Harris (D-CA).U.S. Trying to Criminalize Free Speech – AgainJudith BergmanOn
April 4, 2017, the U.S. Senate passed Senate Resolution 118,
"Condemning hate crime and any other form of racism, religious or
ethnic bias, discrimination, incitement to violence, or animus
targeting a minority in the United States". The resolution was drafted
by a Muslim organization, EmgageUSA (formerly EmergeUSA) and the Muslim

St Louis Young Democrats Busted for Actively PromotingAnti-Police Rallies That Injured CopsNow
operating as a separate organization, Young Democrats of America was
once the official youth arm of the Democratic Party and still maintains
a relationship with the Democratic National Committee. And the St.

report to duty. If not actively involved in organizing the events, the
organization appears to be in close communication with those
responsible for the planning.

The Unbearable Phoniness of Black Lives MatterEli DavidBLM
protesting bad statues does nothing tangible for the black community,

African-Americans, including blacks who may be descended from Jefferson.

Trump's War Strategy Hailed by Afghan President:'A Difference of Day and Night'President
Trump's new strategy for the Afghanistan War garnered a glowing review
from the country's leader Thursday, who said the difference on the
ground after just four weeks was "night and day" from the war plan of
the Obama administration. "You made this decision on the basis of
courage and determination. We salute your courage," Afghanistan
President Ashraf Ghani told Mr. Trump.

45 National Security Experts Urge Trump to Withdraw from Iran DealA
group of some 45 national security experts signed a letter, released
Tuesday, calling on President Donald Trump to withdraw from the Iran
nuclear deal. The letter, released by the Center for Security Policy,
called on Trump to withdraw the U.S. from the so-called "Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action" (JCPOA) using a plan proposed by former
Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton. It also asks Trump to not
certify that Iran has been in compliance with the agreement.

Paper Ballots Are Hack-Proof. It's Time to Bring Them Back.Glenn Harlan ReynoldsI've
been talking about the importance of protecting against voting-machine
hacks since 2002. And now, finally, people are starting to take me
seriously. The move to paperless voting started in response to the
Florida "hanging chad" fiasco in the 2000 presidential election. Some
people (like me) thought this was a mistake, but such concerns were
often dismissed. Now, apparently, you can't be paranoid enough.

Glitch Allows Non-U.S. Citizens in Pa. to Vote'It Undermines Integrity of Elections'Philadelphia
City Commissioner Al Schmidt says a glitch in the state's "motor-voter"
process has allowed non-U.S. citizens to register to vote, even though
he thinks they did so accidentally. The glitch has had no impact on
elections, as the number of people mistakenly registered was small, but
Schmidt thinks that statewide there could be many more and he wants the
state to review registrations.

The Strange Case of Confederate CoolThe Left Used to Tell Us That Confederates Were CoolVictor Davis Hanson[B]efore
the end of Jim Crow, post-war leftist Hollywood still largely continued
its soft mythologies of the Confederate Lost Cause. Perhaps the
cinematic romance arose because of the lucrative fumes of earlier Gone with the Wind fantasies, which themselves might've come from an understandable desire to play a part in "binding up the nation's wounds."

Forget the Alamo? In Dallas, MaybeRod DreherSo
let me get this straight: in Dallas, Texas – Dallas, Texas! – the
school board is thinking about expunging the names of Sam Houston, as
well as Alamo heroes Jim Bowie and William Travis? That is even more
shocking than Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin.
If you're not from Texas, or never lived there, it is impossible to
overstate the reverence with which Texans hold men involved in the
Texas Revolution.

Symbol of French Socialists' Demise, Posh HQ is Up for SaleFrance's

The California Left's
'Reality' is Anything ButKaty GrimesA
law that would criminalize the 'misgendering' of transgender persons is
about to pass the California Legislature, and could result in a fine of
up to $1,000 and a year in prison. What perfect timing for this social
justice bill since the news of the "intolerant" 6-year-old who
accidentally "misgendered" a classmate. Lock her up! The Left wants
life without rules, morals, or responsibility, which makes them moral
Nihilists.

Diversity Can Spell
TroubleVictor Davis HansonAmerica
is experiencing a diversity and inclusion conundrum – which, in
historical terms, has not necessarily been a good thing. Communities
are tearing themselves apart over the statues of long-dead Confederate
generals. Controversy rages over which slogan – "Black Lives Matter" or
"All Lives Matter" – is truly racist. Antifa street thugs clash with
white supremacists in a major American city. Amid all this turmoil, we
forget that diversity was always considered a liability in the history
of nations – not an asset.

former congressional IT aide Imran Awan allegedly routed data from
numerous House Democrats to a secret server. Police grew suspicious and
requested a copy of the server early this year, but they were provided
with an elaborate falsified image designed to hide the massive

Caucus, an organization chaired by then-Rep. Xavier Becerra.Awan Ring Loaded House Data Onto
Secret Server and
Then Covered It Up with Phony EvidenceThomas LifsonLeaked
details of the House investigation into the Awan ring I.T. security

Motor-Voter Fallout:
Study Finds Non-Citizens are Unknowingly Registered to VoteA
review of New Jersey's publicly available voter records has uncovered
hundreds of non-citizens registered to vote in 11 of the state's
counties. In addition to demonstrating the scale of just one of many
elements – non-citizen registrants – of the nation's failure to
maintain election integrity, the review found that three-quarters of
the non-citizens had revealed their ineligible status to a New Jersey
state official, who then presented and accepted the illegal forms
anyway.College Park, MD to Allow

in August, but it was postponed due to threats made to council members

Gun Rights Top Media PollLost in the storm of hurricane coverage, a
recent Wall Street Journal/NBC
News poll demonstrates Americans’ growing support for gun rights. When
asked about the relative importance of issues when it comes time to
vote, guns took the top slot. While the survey doesn’t show the split
between those voting on gun rights vs. gun control, it’s clear that
Americans see the Second Amendment as a major issue.

Apply Background Checks for Gun
Purchases to VotingJohn R. Lott Jr.If
Democrats really believe that the National Instant Criminal Background
Check System doesn't interfere "in any way" with people's
constitutional rights to own a gun, doesn't it follow that the same
system would not constitute an infringement on people's right to vote?
This would give Republicans a system for stopping vote fraud and
Democrats a system that they have already vigorously endorsed.

Obama in 2012: DACA is 'not a path
to citizenship' it's a
'temporary stop-gap measure'Robert LaurieYesterday, we learned that his DACA program
was going to be rescinded because it was – like so much of what Obama
implemented – created via unconstitutional executive
overreach. Democrats are doing their best to scream "racism"
but, whatever you believe the motive to be, it's hard to argue the
given reason. Heck, it's a point that candidate Obama made repeatedly.

DACA recipients were illegally brought to the United States by their
parents when they were children, the minimum age to apply for the
program is 15 years old. In fact, the majority of the applicants were
over the age of 20 based on 2014 data from the U.S. government. Some
have estimated that the average age of dreamers is 25 or 26 years

spacecraft, Voyager 1 and 2, are celebrating 40 years of operation and
exploration this month. The Voyagers have set numerous records since
they were launched in 1977, including Voyager 1 being the only
spacecraft to have flown by all four outer planets – Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune. And NASA engineers behind the probes say that they
had no idea that they would still be working today.

Governor of Virgin Islands Orders
National Guard to
Seize Americans' FirearmsWith
hurricane season now upon us, U.S. states and territories are preparing
for a barrage of potentially damaging weather. In the U.S. Virgin
Islands (USVI), however, those preparations include an order by Gov.
Kenneth E. Mapp for the National Guard to seize residents'
lawfully-owned firearms and ammunition, ostensibly as a means of
promoting public order and protecting life and property during
Hurricane Irma.

Those Who Don't Fight
Evil Fight StatuesDennis PragerAll
my life, I have known this rule about people: Those who don't fight the
greatest evils will fight lesser evils or make-believe evils. This
happens to be the morally defining characteristic of the left. During
the Cold War, many liberals and nearly all conservatives fought
communism, but the left fought anti-communism. The left opposed
American military buildups and regarded the Cold War between America
and the Soviet Union as nothing more than two scorpions in a bottle
fighting to the death.

The Real Threat to Our
Republic is the Orwellian AntifaNed RyunOver
the past few months, we have finally entered the fully realized
historical revisionism promised in George Orwell's "1984," in which the
motto, "Who controls the present controls the past. Who controls the
past controls the future," was central to shaping the book's dystopian
world.

Networks Censor Bombshell That
Comey Didn't Wait for Facts to Rescue HillaryConclusion
first, facts second. That, allegedly, was the mentality of ex-FBI
Director James Comey in dealing with Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal.
Yet this revelation was ignored by ABC, CBS and NBC on Thursday and
Friday. Yet, despite a combined nine and a half hours of air time on
Thursday night and Friday morning, the networks couldn't be bothered.
To be clear, the reason for ignoring this damning development WASN'T
Hurricane Harvey. That natural disaster (deservedly so) garnered a lot
of coverage.

The Case for a Special Counsel to
Investigate Hillary ClintonMichael Goodwin America
tried to let Hillary Clinton off the hook. Despite cries of “lock her
up” during the campaign, most of the nation had little appetite for
prosecuting her after the election, with even Donald Trump willing to
give her a free pass. But the Clinton e-mail scandal, like Clinton
herself, won’t go away. It remains a blot on the legacy of the Obama
administration, the Justice Department and the FBI, and now comes fresh
evidence that the investigation that cleared her was a total sham.

Yes, Antifa is the Moral Equivalent
of neo-NazisMarc A. ThiessenThe
organizer of the anti-Marxism protest is not a white supremacist. Amber
Cummings is a self-described "transsexual female who embraces
diversity" and had announced on Facebook that "any racist groups like
the KKK [and] Neo Nazis ... are not welcome." As if to prove Cummings's
point, the antifa movement responded with jackboots and clubs – because
their definition of "fascist" includes not just neo-Nazis but also
anyone who opposes their totalitarian worldview.

'Antifa' Violence in Berkeley Spurs
Soul-Searching Within Leftist Activist CommunityOf
the dozens of organizations that turned out for Sunday's mass protest
against racism here, one group was impossible to miss. Its members
dressed head to toe in black, with masked faces and some bearing
pastel-painted riot shields that read "no hate." These 100 or so
militants billed themselves as a security force for progressive
counter-protesters, vowing to protect them from far-right agitators.
But as the protest got underway, some of those in masks would resort to
mob violence, attacking a small showing of supporters of President
Trump and others they accused, sometimes inaccurately, of being white
supremacists or Nazis.FBI, DHS Warned of Increasingly
Violent
Antifa Clashes in 2016, Documents ShowIn
previously unreported documents dating back to April 2016 and viewed by
Fox News, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security wrote that
"anarchist extremists" and Antifa groups were the primary instigators
of violence at public rallies. They blamed these groups for attacks on
police, government and political institutions, racists, fascists and
"symbols of capitalism." The FBI and DHS had no comment on the
assessments, saying they were not intended to be made public.Public School Teachers Behind
Violent Antifa GroupPublic
school teachers are behind a leading far-left militant group that is
part of the Antifa network that federal officials say is committing
"domestic terrorist violence." By Any Means Necessary, which has played
a key role in riots in Berkeley, Sacramento and elsewhere, has dozens
of public school teachers among its members, including among its most
prominent leaders. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security began
paying closer attention to Antifa groups in general after BAMN and
other extremists started a riot and attacked marchers at a white
nationalist rally in Sacramento last July.

Revisiting Wind Turbine Impacts Paul DriessenIt’s
time to stop playing with pixie dust and renewable energy utopia
schemes. Sustainability and renewable energy claims are too grounded in
ideology, magic and politics. Wind and solar energy forecasts ignore
the need to find and mine vast new metal and mineral deposits – and
open U.S. lands that are now off limits, unless we want to import all
our wind turbines, solar panels and batteries. They assume land use
impacts don’t really exist if they are in other people’s backyards.

California to Pass Law Setting 100%
Renewable Electricity GoalCalifornia
is on the brink of approving a law to target 100% renewable electricity
by 2045, in defiance of the Trump administration's hostility to climate
action. The bill passed the senate in May and is primed for a final
assembly vote in the coming days. It will make California the world's
largest test bed for creating an entirely clean power grid.Californians Asked to Cut Electric
Power UsageCalifornia
energy officials are asking residents tempted to blast air conditioners
during the heat wave Friday to cut back on electricity use. The
California Independent System Operator, which oversees 80 percent of
the state's electrical grid, issued a statewide alert for energy
conservation from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday.

Yet Another Renewable Energy
Boondoggle Paul DriessenWilkinson
Solar wants to catch the solar wave, and make bundles of money sending
electricity to the grid whenever it’s generated, even if it’s not
needed at the time. As Solar Mania and Solar Sprawl spread, electricity
consumers would see their rates climb: from the 9 cents per
kilowatt-hour average they now pay in North Carolina and Virginia, ever
closer to the 16 to 18 cents per kWh that residents pay in “green
energy” states like Connecticut, New York and California.

Southern Poverty Law Center
Transfers Millions in Cash to
Offshore Entities – Unusual for a 501(c)(3), Maybe Even IllegalThe
Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a liberal, Alabama-based 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt charitable organization that has gained prominence on the
left for its "hate group" designations, pushes millions of dollars to
offshore entities as part of its business dealings, records show.
Additionally, the nonprofit pays lucrative six-figure salaries to its
top directors and key employees while spending little on legal services
despite its stated intent of "fighting hate and bigotry" using
litigation, education, and other forms of advocacy.

My ‘Sex Change’ was a Myth. Why
Trying to Change One’s Sex
Will Always Fail.Walt HeyerRecently,
during a radio show on which I appeared as a guest, a caller posed a
question I frequently get asked: “Do the administration of cross-gender
hormones and genital surgery change a boy into a girl or a girl into a
boy?” The answer is simple: biologically, not at all. Underneath all
the cosmetic procedures, vocal training, and hair growth or hair
removal lies a physical reality. Biologically, the person has not
changed from a man into a woman or vice versa.

U.S. Revised Second-Quarter GDP Up

Univ. Professor Says, Texans
'Deserve' Harvey Because
They Voted for Trump, Now He's FiredSociology
professor Kenneth L. Storey at the University of Tampa published a
tweet on Sunday afternoon suggesting that Texas residents deserve the
death, destruction and suffering caused by Hurricane Harvey because a
majority of Texas voters supported Donald Trump in the 2016
presidential election. When another Twitter user responded that Texas
is home to "good people" and that Storey "may want to rethink" the
tweet, Storey doubled down.

ACORN Sues California to Allow More
Illegals to VoteMatthew VadumAn
ACORN offshoot and other left-wing pressure groups are suing California
in federal court because the state hasn't made it easy enough for
Democrats to flood voter rolls with illegal aliens and foreign
nationals who aren't legally eligible to vote. Throughout the years
Mickey Mouse, Mary Poppins, and celebrities living and dead were
registered to vote because now-defunct ACORN and its allied groups were
allowed to pollute the voter rolls.

Crying Wolf in a Crowded
TheaterClarice FeldmanThis
week former Speaker of the House California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi
said, “The Constitution does not say that a person can yell wolf in a

find no fault. I scoured the Constitution and there’s not a word about
crying wolf in it. On the other hand, it does give primacy to the right

Harvard Professor Calls Out Antifa
for Trying to 'Tear Down America'"Do not glorify the violent people who are
now tearing down the statues. Many of these people, not all of them,

Arizona Supreme Court Rebuffs
Tucson's Illegal
Destruction of FirearmsOn
Thursday, the Arizona Supreme Court unanimously held that the state was
within its authority to prohibit cities and counties from routinely
destroying firearms obtained through forfeiture or as unclaimed
property. State law holds that political subdivisions must instead
(subject to certain exceptions) recirculate the firearms through
legitimate channels of commerce, just as they do with other types of
valuable property. The case represents the latest battle in an effort
dating back nearly two decades to prevent anti-gun localities from
undermining the pro-gun policies of the state legislature.

Get Rid of the Iran Deal: Here Are
Four OptionsMatthew RJ BrodskyIt's
no secret that President Trump would like to shake off the Joint
Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the nuclear agreement with Iran.
Negotiated by the Obama administration and opposed by most Americans
when it was finalized in 2015, it was called by candidate Trump "the
stupidest deal of all time." In his search for the right mechanism to
break free of Obama's nuclear handcuffs, he appears to have settled on
declaring that Iran is in violation of the agreement.

Muslims Tell Europe: "One Day All
This Will Be Ours"Giulio MeottiThis
week, yet another Islamic terrorist attack targeted the Spanish city of
Barcelona. As it was for many years under Muslim rule, it is,
therefore, like Israel, land which many Islamists believe they are
entitled to repossess. "Europe is committing demographic suicide,
systematically depopulating itself in what British historian Niall
Ferguson has called "the greatest sustained reduction in European
population since the Black Death in the fourteenth century'", as George
Weigel recently noted.

Ungoogleable: What Doesn't Show Up
When You Search the Web?Did
you know when you search the internet, you're not actually searching
the whole internet? Google is the largest search service in the world.
But even with trillions of websites indexed, Google's search only
covers about four percent of the net. So what exactly is the 96 percent
of the internet that's ungoogleable?

Please Don’t Feed the
Alligators. It Just Encourages Them.MOTUSThe
Deep State media/government complex (DSC for short) would have you
believe that Donald Trump is more dangerous than the little potbellied
pig from NoKo with his new nuclear toy warheads. Probably because Kim
Jong Un has black friends and everyone knows Donald Trump is a racist.
Of course this is the same DSC that, because they didn’t pick DJT to
win would have you believe that he won only by cheating and collusion
with Russia.

Obama Administration Knew About
North Korea's Miniaturized NukesTuesday's bombshell Washington
Post
story that the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has determined North
Korea is capable of constructing miniaturized nuclear weapons that
could be used as warheads for missiles – possibly ICBMs – left out a
crucial fact: DIA actually concluded this in 2013. The Post
also failed to mention that the Obama administration tried to downplay
and discredit this report at the time.

Record in
Sign of Robust Labor DemandA
June surge in U.S. job openings to a record indicates demand for
workers remained strong at the end of the second quarter, a Labor
Department report showed Tuesday. July figures released last week
showed payrolls increased more than forecast while the unemployment

the labor force and many found work.

NSA Experts Say DNC 'Hack' was
Actually a Leak and Inside Job –
No Russians or Others InvolvedThe Nation's
Patrick Lawrence wrote a lengthy review of the findings made by various
computer experts formerly with the NSA. Published this week, the
left-wing magazine's report notes two bases for their conclusion: (1)
hard science shows that a remote hack of the DNC servers resulting in
the breach that actually occurred would have been technologically
impossible; (2) forensic review of the initial Guccifer 2.0 documents
proves that they are poorly-disguised cut-and-paste
jobs-forgeries-intended to finger Russia.

Under Trump, Gains Against ISIS
Have 'dramatically accelerated'The
war against ISIS has taken dramatic strides since Donald Trump became
president, with the U.S. and its allies reclaiming swathes of Iraq and
Syria. In fact, of all the land reclaimed by the U.S.-led coalition
since 2014, nearly one third has been taken since Trump took office.
That's thanks to Trump's decision to delegate decisions and engage in a
'campaign of annihilation,' Brett McGurk, the State Department's senior
envoy to the anti-Islamic State coalition, told the Washington
Post.

secretary of state, Hillary Clinton attempted to bully the tiny nation
of Bangladesh to force it to end a corruption investigation of Muhammad
Yunus, a long-time Clinton family friend and Clinton Foundation donor,

government documents generated as part of a request from the U.S.
Congress.

Why Did Google Freak Out and Fire
an Employee for
Spurring ‘Honest Discussion’?Genevieve WoodThe
tolerance police at Google just struck another blow against increasing
diversity in Silicon Valley by firing an employee who wrote a memo
critiquing the company’s politically correct culture. Could it be that
Google is feeling just a little bit paranoid? For all the talk about
inclusiveness and diversity, here’s the reality: If you’re not white or
Asian, that means there is only a 5 percent chance you’re part of
Google’s leadership team.Have the Wrong Opinion and You Can
Get Fired. Google it.Bernard GoldbergIf
Google had fired Demore for being naïve, they’d have a case. But they
didn’t. They fired him for having an unacceptable opinion, and that
just can’t be tolerated at such an open-minded place as Google, a place
that welcomes a wide array of points of view – as long as they’re
acceptable liberal points of view.

Silencing ALL Opposition Voices:
Inside the Media Matters PlaybookJeff Reynolds We
now know how the left is running this non-stop smear campaign and who
is pulling the puppet strings, we have the Media Matters Playbook. A
49-page document marked PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL, it lists four
leftist partner organizations... These are some of the most
well-funded, well-entrenched, and well known leftist organizations in
America. Billionaire George Soros is a key backer.

NewspaperJohn HinderakerSarah Palin has sued the New York
Times for defamation, on account of a Times editorial
that falsely claimed there was a "clear" and "direct" causal connection
between Palin's PAC's "targeting" of Gabrielle Giffords' district and

Collins, Murkowski:
We Sunk Skinny Repeal to Protect Planned ParenthoodTwo
of the senators who singlehandedly derailed the skinny repeal of
Obamacare were awarded a sit down interview with the admiring Dana Bash
Friday on CNN. The bright faced journalist applauded Sens. Susan
Collins (ME) and Lisa Murkowski (AK) for having the "cajones" to vote
against the Republican bill when they knew half the country would view
them as heretics.

NC
State Admin Proposes
Additional Segregated Housing for 'women of color'The
new Director of Multicultural Student Affairs at North Carolina State
University recently pledged to create a segregated housing option for
"women of color" only. Nashia Whittenburg, who was hired by NC State

All-Black Party California
Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters wouldn't rule out the concept of an
all-black political party when asked about it on Monday. "We still are
not voting our influence yet," she continued. "What we should do is
organize our power, exercise our power, particularly in the Democratic
Party because that's where most of us are." Waters then suggested that
when black people are "strong enough" they may branch out into their
own party.

Lawsuit Says Seattle's
'Tax-the-Rich' Measure
Violates State ConstitutionThe
new Seattle measure, passed by the city council in July, would impose a
2.25% tax on any income over $250,000 or above $500,000 for couples
filing jointly. It is expected to impact about 9,000, or 2%, of the
city's taxpayers. A lawsuit filed by the Freedom Foundation, a
conservative think tank, on behalf of 19 Seattle citizens, alleges the
measure violates the state constitution as well as restrictions on
cities to impose such taxes.

Kids as Young as 4 Find Safe Space
at Transgender Day CampIn
some ways, Rainbow Day Camp is very ordinary. But it is also
extraordinarily unique, from the moment campers arrive each morning. At
check-in each day, campers make a nametag with their pronoun of choice.
Some opt for "she" or "he." Or a combination of "she/he." Or "they," or
no pronoun at all. Some change their name or pronouns daily, to see
what feels right. The camp in the San Francisco Bay Area city of El
Cerrito caters to transgender and "gender fluid" children, ages 4 to 12.

"I'm a mom. I go to Walmart and I take my kids to Chick-Fil-A." Loesch
was criticized by Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.) and others on the left
